Hope I'm not stepping on any toes by posting this (if I am I'll take it down), but for anyone who isn't on Facebook, MV Gerhard posted that his house was destroyed by the wildfires currently raging in Ventura County, CA. Family, thank goodness, is safe.
MV, it's not much from a distance but I wanted to offer my thoughts and well wishes in what I'm sure is a very difficult time for you and your family.
We bitch and moan about so many petty things around here but I hope the occasional glimpses into the fragility of our existence helps put things into perspective and reminds us that, in the end, we really only have the people with whom we surround ourselves.*
With that in mind, MV, I hope you know you have a whole community here who supports you and would be happy to help in any way once you get re-settled. Please let us know how things are going.
* Except Rutherford
EDIT TO REPOST GOFUND ME DONATION LINKS FROM BELOW:
There are now two separate GoFundMe pages devoted to the cause in one way or another.
The one started by composer Blake Neely to directly benefit the Gerhards:
https://www.gofundme.com/mv-and-family
The one started by Michael's wife, Deion, for the benefit of their son and daughter-in-law, who also lost everything in the fire but didn't have insurance: https://www.gofundme.com/4taikpk
When she posted this on Facebook she said that a good way to help them would be to help their kids (via donations to this link).
Donations to either or both of these pages will help, I'm sure.
The page started by Jason LeBlanc has been closed to avoid confusion with Blake Neely's page. See Jason's post below for further info.

I saw on FB he lost his house.
All the best for MV and his family, and thank goodness he and his were not hurt in these fires.

Oh no. The last place I lived in California had nearly burnt down the year before we moved there, but I've never known anyone who was ever displaced by this. I'm so sorry if what is rumored is true. Hug that family tight, MV. You can crash here whenever you like.

Personal tragedy just as you reach a professional peak with your record company. My condolences.

All my best wishes for MV and his family. I'm not sure if I've ever expressed how much his label's releases mean to me -- the 3-disc Star Trek the Motion Picture and the Star Trek: Original Series boxed-set are among my most treasured possessions.
